The Raptism

So gather round now for the raptism
'Cause if the dogs don't get 'em
The cattle get 'em or the gat'll get 'em
Or the crack'll get 'emTime for spiritual activism
Life is a journey
And Kris got the map with him
Teach Latinos and blacks with 'emIt's amazing when Whites
And Asians kick raps with 'em
'Cause out of a thousand MC's
Believe I taught half of 'emKnowledge Reigns Supreme
I beam through many images
My origin is a mystery
Like capstones on pyramidsWe live it kid, challenge
The teacher you will regret that
I'm giving careers and taking careers away
Did you forget that?Better check that you can rock
This track and the next track
But when I correct the spirit hit
You'll always be set backSo gather round now for the raptism
Only those that got hip-hop in 'em
And not rap in 'em and no crack with 'em
Step up now and receive a holy doseFrom a holy host and take a break
From these rappers that only boastWake up to make up
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Wake up to make up
Huh, huh, yeah, yeah, yeahWake up to make up
Yo, yeah, yoMy intellectual battle
Will make your brains rattle
I'll unwrap you and your crew
From the same shackleI'm on many different planes like a airport
Psychologically you be rethinkin'
Your identity and cuttin' ya hair shortNow there's a thought
That exposes your insecurity
You put no fear in me
I break the M from the CAnd reverse it to say, "See 'em? See 'em?"
They allow the devil to lead 'em
And they be givin' up they freedom
So, huh, gather round for the raptismWake up
When the spirit hear it the lyric long before the track get 'em
Wake up
I spit 'em out, gotta get 'em out, the world I never been aboutI see them glitter but their spirit's goin' in and out
We see them fading, we also see them hating
We also see those living for musical chart ratings
Hear what I'm stating or trading for what you're payingReplace fear with faith and you'll stop decaying
